Industry Pain Points We Solve

Complex integration of services

Slow time-to-value

Inconsistent implementations

Infrastructure Dependencies

Multiple locations, consoles

Upgrade Needs

• Implementation complexity when deploying workspaces across multiple locations, platforms, or clouds

• Too much cross-product expertise needed to install/configure/integrate/ orchestrate/upgrade Citrix implementations

• Inconsistent or sub-optimal implementations that lead to poor performance or slowed roll-outs

• Risk and lack of expertise to implement any app, desktop, or mobility solution (generally in smaller enterprises)

What does Citrix Lifecycle Management do?

CLM enables you to deploy and configure the machines that host your applications

and services through the use of blueprints

You can use Citrix designed blueprints to

deploy Citrix products using best practices

… or you can design your own blueprints

Lifecycle Management Overview

Deploy services to any hypervisor, private or public cloud

• Select desired environment

• Configure size, scale and

redundancy

• Configure other input parameters

Create service blueprints

• Capture requirements to deploy the service

• Specify how to manage

based on service monitor

• Incorporate best practices

Monitor, scale, heal & recover services

• Monitor service and operational task status

• Scale, heal and recover

• Continue to evolve management process

Specify how to deploy and manage the service

Optimal performance configuration, security hardening

Verify datacenter components (DNS, AD, SQL DB, Firewalls, LBs …) are available & configured appropriately

Build to validated reference architectures. Service-specific monitoring

Create service blueprint

Service specific customizations

Incorporate best practices

Conduct pre, post deploy checks
